  1. PDF for Enemies For Hire?

    in HERO Games Product Line

    Posted

    Hi,

    I have a hard copy of "Enemies For Hire" for 4th Ed. (ISBN: 1-55806-277-0) and am looking for a PDF version of this book, as I'm often in a place where carrying lots of gaming books is somewhat awkward. If somebody could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it greatly.

     

    Tnx!

    Re: A Character Question

     

    Primarily, at this point? You post a character, asking for feedback because it had been looked at/downloaded, at yet the entire character from your explanation, was not built according to RAW. Without RAW, or inherent expectations of it, we can't give you honest responses, because of our POV is automatically skewed.

     

    Prior to this point? You didn't build according to RAW.

     

     

    No, I asked because I TRULY WANTED your opinion. Now, as for this acronym, since I don't know what RAW is referring to, would you please enlighten me?

     

    Oh, yes, and please do be kind enough to answer my original question to you...preferably sans the snarky attitude.

     

    Thanks.

    Re: A Character Question

     

    I am a little curious' date=' what point level of heroes was this character is intended to be used against?[/quote']

     

    Excellent question! Ideally, I designed him to take on a team of approximately 4 to 6 heroes in the 500 to about 700 point range. At that power level, he should (in theory) be able to give a team of that size & power a run for their money.

     

    However, in light of some previous comments & questions, at least some of the design flaws (Massacre was one of my very first done in HD) should be corrected first.

    Technically, the 80 STR is wasted, with no END as well, unless that also feeds off one of the two reserves.

     

    Weak build.

    As I've indicated, everything is processed via the power cells...admittedly, a bit of a stretch. Aside from all the minutia (and yes, given the way I built him, there's TONS of stuff to pick away at), how is he weak? Please, I'm genuinely interested.

    The REC of an END Reserve never works on a character's STUN.

     

     

    Normally, I'd agree with that 10 Billion percent, but being as I'm the GM of the campaign I built him for, I allowed a bit of extra slack for him.

    Dear me. 0 REC. One fight and he's in a coma. :rofl:

     

    EDIT: OK, that was unnecessarily snide. However, there is a serious mistake in the character.

     

     

    Actually, no, not a mistake. You kinda have to read how everything is connected on this character. Everything (every tiny detail) is processed through the power cells.

    Re: A Character Question

     

    Hi,

    I never downloaded the character before but I noticed one glaring issue after looking at him here.

     

    0 REC

    150 STUN

     

    Combined with his otherwise average defenses (Damage Reduction lowers the amount that exceeds the defenses, but never below 1) he will never recover STUN from any combat.

     

    Was that intentional or just an oversight?

     

     

    Everything is handled by either of his 2 power cells. Physical actions & basic movement are handled by Power Cell #1. All attack powers are handled by power cell #2. So, all damage received is processed via power cell #1.

    Hi gang,

    I was just looking through the available characters in the HD vault, and noticed that my villain Massacre has been d/led a few times. This question is for those who've downloaded him...

    Have you had a chance to use Massacre in a game session? If so, what was your experience like...did he stomp all over the heroes? did the heroes stomp all over him? was it a long, drawn out battle? If you've used massacre, please describe your experience.

     

     

    Tnx!

     

     

    EDIT: Yes, I know there are several technical deficiencies in the build, but we don't need to hash & rehash them.

    I never liked it when official writeups left that kind of info off. Seems like bad form not to describe the effects of the powers in a reason from effect system.

     

     

    Yes' date=' I s'pose I should go back & update some of the info...when schedule allows. However, I hadn't originally planned to upload him to the Hero Designer character dbase. Still, that's no excuse for leaving out vital info.[/quote']

     

     

    As of 2 July 2008, Massacre has been revised & u/l'd to the Hero Designer character database. How you use him is up to you.

    Re: Questions concerning Massacre (HD)

     

    Well, in a (largish) nutshell...

    I had originally constructed Massacre about 20-some odd years ago under the name of Devastator using Revised 1st ed rules. Over the years, he's gone through upgrades & alterations in background. He's basically designed around the concept of a robotic soldier from the future that can take a pounding, and give a pounding, as well as infiltrating nearly any military agency (via computer or in person) to get whatever he wanted.

    So' date=' do you not know why you gave him two teleport powers or are you hoping/assuming this will create interest for you and your character? :confused:[/quote']

     

     

    Oh yes, I *DO* know why I gave him 2 teleport powers, and yes, I was hoping that some interest might be generated among those who had downloaded him.

    Okay, so you've downloaded a copy of Massacre from the Hero Designer collection of characters. Great! Now yer ready to kick some serious hero tail, but what's this...2 teleport powers? Who on Earth needs TWO teleport powers??

     

    This is THE definitive place to get answers to all your questions about Massacre (the character)...directly from the guy who created him. So fellow adventurers, ask your questions about Massacre, and I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

    Re: PLAGUE anyone??

     

    I think he's due up in the next Enemies book (don't quote me though' date=' I could be misremembering), but judging from the information I've gleaned from the USPD, he's not a floating, phasing junkie ... he's the ultimate disease carrier.[/quote']

    Okay then, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the next Enemies book. My interest in Plague is based on what I've seen/read in USPD, not the old 1st Ed. Enemies...ultimate disease carrier is (pardon the pun) just what the doctor ordered.

     

    Thanks.
